Interview with Zdenka Willis |
 |
Zdenka Willis, program director for NOAA’s Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS®), said the Rutgers craft will measure ocean temperature and salt levels, but this is just the beginning of what ocean gliders will be tasked to do in coming years. The NOAA IOOS Program provides support and funding for projects such as the Atlantic crossing effort to improve ocean monitoring and observation capabilities nationwide.

Launching Ocean Observatories
|
 |
Ship-based studies of ocean physics, chemistry, and biology are being
augmented by measurements from undersea robots, moored instruments,
satellites, and coastal radar installations. At the same time, ocean
research is becoming increasingly collaborative, interdisciplinary, and
global. Potential payoffs include better understanding of climate
change and better management of fisheries. Rutgers oceanographers Scott
Glenn and Oscar Schofield review progress toward a network of 'ocean
observatories' that could operate year-round, worldwide.

Medical debris continued to pose problems for the start of Labor Day weekend along some Cape May County beaches.
The town of Avalon allowed swimmers back into the ocean at some of its beaches on Friday afternoon, after closing all of its beaches in the morning because six syringes were found. An additional sweep turned up nothing.
Earlier in the week, nearly 200 syringes washed up in Avalon, forcing the town to close some of its beaches throughout the week.
